I think we will lose 2-0

Got a bad feeling about today. Hope we are much better than Tuesday night...2-0

I’m sure we will be. Sheaf going off didn’t help and putting Joel on instead of Torp didn’t work I think we’ll win today

Please no Godden

I know what you’re thinking - who’s in goal?

No who’s on first base

 

[pusbccfc]

Is The Waterfront still open?

 

[Nick]

Surely he can't start Godden again?

Home boy can do that if he scores. If

 

[kg82]

Sky Sports say Mason-Clark could make his debut… bloody hell.

Such unfair comments about Godden who has achieved so much for this club. And yet people get upset if he doesn't celebrate enough.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Did we get a draw at Norwich in the lockdown season? I seem to remember Biamou scoring.

Didn’t Robins start a really bizarre team that day? Something like Bakayoko upfront on his own?

Him being a great servant to the club doesn’t guarantee him a starting spot in perpetuity

Yes but the abuse is unfair.

Must be a Norwich away thing. He did something similar last year and started Walker, benched Vik.

 

[Tommo1993]

Can remember that outrageously overrated Max Aarons flying through Ryan Giles as he put that cross in that eventually fell to Biamou.

Wilson’s first start in goal for us I think?

 

[SkyBlueMatt]

Godden will bag one today, I can feel it in my bones.

2-2

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Torp Allen and Wright starting

Allen is the one confusing me, can only really be for Eccles or O'Hare and neither is ideal. Robins has suggested Eccles needs a rest but I'm guessing it's for O'Hare and we're going for a flatter 3 in midfield to try and stodge things up a bit? I'd put Simms up top as well, so guessing he'll go with

Collins
MvE Thomas Kitching Bidwell
Allen Torp Eccles
Saka Simms Wright

rather than

Collins
MvE Thomas Kitching Bidwell
Allen Torp
Saka O'Hare Wright
Simms

0-0 draw

 

[Great_Expectations]

Appreciate all Godden has done, great servant and an incredible goal scoring record etc etc etc.

But, and even regardless of recent anonymity, this isn’t a game for him. We’re going to need to occupy their defenders, hold up the ball and counter fast - none of those tactics scream Godden.

 

[Evo1883]

Just arrived , we were poor here last season, but I think it will be a better game today . Not arsed who starts , back the team PUSB

 

[Blind-Faith]

Time For Eccles to step up today, as another poster on here said ( I can’t remember who it was ) , he now needs to start running games in the centre of the park and dominating the game. With Sheaf out for over a month this is the perfect opportunity for him to do it.

 

[mrtrench]

Yes but the abuse is unfair.

If there is abuse then it is wrong but I haven't seen it. I have seen and written fair comment that he's no longer adding anything to the team. Maybe it's a bad patch and he will come good again. But there is no denying he has performed badly for weeks, possibly months.

 

[curly_tom]

Godden shouldn't start today. If true that Allen is starting, might it be in place of Palmer? I think he might go for a box-ish midfield with 2 up top. Simms and Wright as a two?

 

[Gibbo]

Sub Simms for Wright on 60 mins

What about in Norwich?

 

[MikeyMoo]

No abuse here. Godden a legend. I just suspect he's not in our best XI atm, and our best XI will turn out for SW. So Godden to start today.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

The comments on Godden are completely valid.

1. There is no doubt Godden has been critical to our rise. His goals have been invaluable. His name is in the Sky Blue history book.

2. Age has caught up with him to be a Championship level player. That’s not a criticism but reality of a player who has lost a yard or two of pace. Every game you can see what he’s thinking but he can never get to the ball quick enough.

3. It now makes no sense Simms is on the bench. We’ve invested big money in him and he should start every game ahead of Godden in the run in. Against Bristol you saw how much more he offered than Godden.

4. As a squad player and back up is his role for me this season now.

 

[skybluecam]

Abuse
